Connecticut: Best known for its wealth... mostly in Greenwhich and Westport (where I live). Yeah, we have all the top fasihons, the best (real) bags, the hottest shoes, and yes, we pop our collar. We, however, aren't snobs, even though we grow up surrounded by abnormally expenisve stuff. We are close to New York, and we don't think that New Jersey is terrible... yea, so, we do have more than one house, and ridiculously expensive cars, and our school is, as my fellow westportian stated, HUGE. But, living in this state isn't all great... outside of Yale, New Haven is a dump, and the majority of Connecticut isn't so wealthy/nice. I can't speak for other parts of Connecticut, but I can say this for Westport... we have a GREAT school system, and mostly our IQ is up there, people go to great schools, so what if they do it in high fashion... unfortunatley we also have a really high drug abuse/use rate, which isn't slowing. Our town is nice, but overall, seeing the same brands/cars/hairstlyes/shops is boring. And yea, most of us are happy right here, In Connecticut...

"nice uggs, get them recently?"
"yea, I have them in every color now"
"Are you from Connecticut?"
"Yea...so?"
"You people are so rich"
"no we aren't"....(thinks about it) "ok, maybe just a little"

A bad career move. Home to the meanest people in the world. Common place for yellers and rude assholes. A place where people are extremely nice to you, just before they rip you off and ruin you financially. A wonderful place, but only for them. Look carefully and most of them have horns. George W. Bush’s birth place.

1. Dude why are you yelling and cursing at me, all I did was say hello to you. Are you from Connecticut or something?

2. You: I am truly sorry that you suffer from Tourette syndrome? Red Neck: No I don’t, I am just a white trash from Connecticut and you are a person of a color and I think you smell.

3 Lorin: Dr. I need medicine for crabs. Doctor: Did you have sex with a prostitute? Lorin: No, my wife is from Connecticut, and I am a fag.

4. I made 50K in 2008, and I have been working for 34 years. I think am so rich because I am from Connecticut.

5. I pulled a Connecticut thirteen years ago. I was unemployed for two years, and my career hasn’t recovered yet.
